I am puzzling about where to mount the Floscan on a carburated 320 in a -4.
One shoud mount it beyond the gascalotor which will be located on the lower firewall. However I have almost decided to put it between the selector valve and the gascolator. The reason I do not want it in the engine compatement, beyond the gascolator, is that since I expect to run Mogsa through the engine at times and I see it as another heat sink to promote fuel vapourisation.
This leads me to ask two questions and invite comment.
1. In the event that small particles of crud get into it that the gascolator would have filtered out, can I assume the risk is only that it will not measure correctly, not that it will block the fuel flow?
2. In normal operation is it in fact very suceptible to particles. I rarely find anything in the gascolator.
Any other thoughts?
Thanks, Steve
